TOP-TWO-SPOT- FOR THE SUPER 'B' TEAM?

THE LEGEND(MOTHER TERESSA) & FESTER (GALLY) AFTER ANOTHER WIN IN THE DOUBLES!

Its been an interesting couple of weeks with two difficult matches, away to the ex servicemens a followed by a home game to the hearts of oak.

The first match started well with some well contested doubles games setting us up for nicely for the singles. Some good singles games set us up with a chance of the win, with yours truly playing my best game of the season hitting back to back 140’s and an 81 finish! (I know, must have been drunk). It was left to the last three players to convert the six games we had won into a victory. The first of these was a tough game for The Legend (Trev Gooch)facing Jason Cains. It came down to nerve and Trev proved he could hold his better(nerve that is!), keeping his head to win the game and match after several darts at a double. With the pressure gone, we lost the last games, to give us a seven-five win and another excellent visit to the ex servicemens club.

Last week saw us at home to the hearts of oak and facing another tough match. A good start from Hos and Quiff with the latter joining this years 180 club before Hos hit the winning double. Some tight games followed and we found ourselves 5-4 down and needing the last three games for a another unexpected win. Our guys responded in fine style with Shoot em up and Bungle both winning to leave it all down to Ozzie on last, for the match! With another solid game, holding his nerve completely,(pretty good as he was on last having not played doubles), Oz saw the game out, for another excellent win(OR IS IT?).

On to this week and it just doesn’t seem to get any easier, with another difficult away game to the marquis of lorne. We started out of the blocks well, with Ozzie taking out a 91 finish to win us the opening doubles, followed after by a solid win for Hos and Quiff and another good game and finally a tense finish won by Billy (man of a thousand nick-names) Bennett and the Legend who is now known as Mother Gooch. We were 3-0 up, an excellent start, before they finally got one back with the best game of their night so far, against Fester and the Yid.

The opening singles saw Moysie struggling with his game a bit and losing the first game before Ozzie won a tight game to get us two games ahead again. The next game saw Bungle (I can't believe I've got Mick Wooltorton again I always play him and I've never beaten him why do I always get him,cry,cry,), beat Mick Wooltorton (???) to take us to 5-2. We then hit a bad patch with Paul (Lurch) Tyler losing to a very good game, Trev (Mother Theresa) showing the benevolent side of his nature and Dave (Shoot em up) Stride getting shot down.

5-all and next up was Hos against Soz. A good game with ever mounting tension which Hos managed to take on a double. 6-5 and a chance for the Captain to show if had any bottle. A tight last game against Flash and I managed to hold my nerve and hit double eight.

Another incredible win in the strange season of the Potty B Team and the points keep mounting. Talk is now turning to the dizzy heights of playing in Europe (but personally I quite enjoyed this years day out in Yarmouth).

Home next week against the Working Mens Club, lets see if we can keep it going.

Well done lads


(Even the A side are showing a hint of amazement when they are told of another excellent score line in the club afterwards!)
